Who Gets The Biggest Attendances ? Who Gets The Worst ?

[van wolfswinkel]

The crowds at the Shabbey stadium have certainly fallen since Leigh Adams left, used to get 4-5000 plus for the Grand Finals and big meetings, about 1400-1500 since then, unless Poole are visiting, which adds another 1000 on, a lot different from the 5000 plus average in the 60s/70s/early 80s, when sometimes they had bigger crowds than STFC. That bumper lock-out crowd for the Golden Helmet in 79 was around16-17000, will be lucky to get that for whole season's league meetings this year!

Think Worky's average crowds have gone from about 1200 10 years ago, when I used to go, to 7-800 now.

Couldn't have been more than 200 when I went to IOW a few years ago, then went out of business when it went down to 100-150. Guy said they were getting 600 average when in PL.

The brummies don't get the lowest crowd in the el ...its very hard to say but would I be right to assume there is approx 300 who watch from inside up in the restraunt area ? If that's approx correct we must be around the 1000 mark every week ... maybe I'm way off but last season in the summer we was well over that mark all the time

So who does get the lowest crowd I always thought it was Birmingham by hear say

King's Lynn crowds usually look good even with a televised meeting

Am I right in thinking, the reasons behind the attendance figures being secret, relate to all the Taxes , VAT and fiddles. Shame really cos it would make interesting reading how figures compare on a regular basis, and to be able to understand the finances involved where top meetings were concerned.

I can confirm that. I know one ex promoter that used to put a third of his cash takings in his special suitcase, and that never went near a bank or accountant..

The Bees must be pulling in 1700+ as an average for this season. The Storm are also well supported by national league standards, guessing 500+ as an average this year.

Must remember its early season and the weathers not so kind so keeps people away. I'd expect attendances to increase through the season.

Shouldn't use televised meetings to gauge support anyway. They tend to be on an off night and people will stay at home to watch.

Coventry always get a big crowd.

They also have a lot of fans who travel away to support the bees
